    Pat Riley royally screwed up by not finding a way to bring Dwyane Wade back to the Heat, and it is looking more and more like there were viable alternatives to still pay Wade the money he wanted and keep him in Miami.

    Wade was initially insulted by the $10 million per year offer that Riley presented to him, and even though that was eventually bumped up to $20 million a year, it still wasn’t enough to bring him back as he ended up signing with the Bulls for $47.5 million over two years.

    Riley had to denounce D-Wade’s bird rights to sign Hassan Whiteside to a max offer, which was the Heat’s obvious number one priority this offseason. Even though Wade tweeted his congratulations to the young center when he got the deal, you would have to imagine it irked him that the Heat prioritized Whiteside over the man who brought the Heat three championships.
